The world needs more equality, more leaders of character who are willing to lead by example and lead the way and support the next generation.   The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® list of the Middle East’s Most Inspirational Women in Leadership is the 2024  listing  of the most successful and inspirational women in leadership in the Middle East who are leading with passion and purpose and serving to shape a better, more equal world. The listing was  created in support of  House of Rose Professional’s  Mission 2029 for a Better World –   which aims to shape a better world via better diversity & inclusion, better leadership and better business. The Measure for MISSION 2029 for a Better World is to  quintuple the number of Female CEOs  and double the number of male (advocates for diversity) CEOs in the World’s 500 largest Companies by 2029. Research shows that Companies with 30% women executives bring in as much as 6 percentage points more in profits; when considering a potential employer, 61% of women look at the diversity of the employers leadership team, 67% at whether it has positive role models similar to them, and 56% at whether the organization publicly shares its progress on diversity. Gender diversity & inclusion in organizations is a critical indicator of success. And nowehere is this more important than in the Middle East that currently aspires to greater gender balance at leadership levels.

Five factors are used in the determination of the Break the ceiling touch the sky® 2024 Middle East’s Most Inspirational Women in leadership.  Career achievements; scale of influence; active and visible advocacy for gender equality; active support of other women in leadership within and outside of their own organizations/ Companies;  and sharing of their best practices for success across broader industry.  

The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® list of the Middle East’s Most Inspirational Women in Leadership is focused  primarily on the Corporate world  and is  curated by House of Rose Professional from its review of female executives in over 650 Companies operating in the Middle East. The list is representative of the many talented women leaders living and working in the Middle East and obviously not a comprehensive record of all of the many talented women leaders of the Middle East.
